  • UAE is slightly behind the US in its Gestapo Technique Implications. The UAE just wants to be upto par with the US in its ability to spy on residents in their nation. RIM allows the US Federal authorities to have access to the encryption keys. RIM allows israelis and the UK secret services access to its encryption keys but it won't allow any Arab or Muslim nation because then Mossad Agents would be caught planning terror attacks.

  • the Mossad used blackberries to connect with each other when they killed AL-Mabhoh and when the UAE asked the company to co-operate with them, they refused to give them any Information. so, after this accident Saudi Arabia and UAE and India, i think, will ban some services because they didn't cooperate with them in their investigation so why would they risk their safety.

    that's the real reason.

  • BULLLLLSHITTTTT !!

  • دامت التخلف في الامارات العربية المتحدة يعني البلاك بيري كيف يسبب امن قومي و كأن الياهو و ال هت ميل لا يتواجدون في حياتنا و حيات الارهابيين اليومية. صراحة خطوة للخلف والسبب الوحيد لمنعها هو ان يريدوا ان يراقبوا كل كلمة يقولوها الشعب على حكومتهم. انا اقول كبر عقولكم و سيير شوفوا شيئ احسن من شدي . في ناس يموتوا في فلسطين يوميا . روح وحدوا العرب بدل ما تضيعون اوقاتكم في المحاولة عن التجسس في القيل و القال و من الشعب من حريتهم و خصوصياتهم في محاوراتهم
